    And as any child knows, it’s time for a new number: “Eleventy"; We’re also overdue for a new dinosaur called the “Thesaurus"

        @neiltyson Surely you could find a better but similar name for the dinosaur. If only we had a way to look up such things.

        @neiltyson Too late. Bilbo Baggins used the word "eleventy" a long time ago.

        @v_diz @neiltyson Tenty/eleventy* actually in use in Old English; hundred = 120. Tolkien was very probably well aware. *obv. other spellings

        @neiltyson JRR Tolkien already codified eleventy in The Lord of the Rings. For shame, NDT. Thought you'd know that!
